"Hey guys, welcome to my party."

At the door of the brightly lit ballroom, Meryl Streep saw the bastard trio coming over together and stepped forward to hug everyone.

She looked at the three well-known bastards in Hollywood, and deliberately said: "Actually, inviting you to come, I have overcome great difficulties and made a lot of determination?" ”

Martin was cooperative, asking, "Why?" ”

Meryl said, "I'm worried that you're going to tear off the roof of the ballroom and turn the party into a battlefield. ”

Leonardo shoved Nicholson to the front: "Don't worry, for Jack's sake, we won't mess up your party." ”

Now that there is no outsider to do it, Martin immediately targeted Nicholson: "Jack, you should stand by Meryl's side and accompany Meryl to greet the guests." ”

Meryl Streep is divorced and has been trying to get to Nicholson: "I think it's okay, there's just a lack of a man tonight. ”

Nicholson said, "No kidding, can anyone stand in this position?" ”

Meryl's eyes were fixed on Nicholson, but her hand opened the pouch hanging from the crook of her arm, and there seemed to be a square box inside.

Martin had a playful expression.

Nicholson didn't say a word, and walked briskly into the ballroom.

"Don't go." Leonardo pretended to pull, but he didn't pull it just right.

Meryl took out her makeup mirror, touched up her makeup, and snorted coldly: "This is a coward." ”

Martin and Leonardo also entered the ballroom.

Nickerson flashed over from one side and looked at the doorway and asked, "She didn't say anything, did she?" ”

"Nope." Martin asked, "What, you're worried that Meryl will propose to you in public?" ”

"What if she gets nervous? If I refuse, I won't even be able to run as a buddy. ”

The three bastards entered the banquet hall with a grin, found some acquaintances, and started chatting.

Suddenly, a blonde girl came to her: "Hi Martin, Leo." “

She greeted Martin and Leonardo, but ignored Nicholson.

Martin's gaze quickly swept over her, the girl was tall, with blonde hair, and a facial contour somewhat like Meryl Streep, but her facial features were more delicate than Meryl's, and her people were more beautiful than Meryl's.

"We've seen it before." The girl frowned: "You forgot? ”

Martin remembered, "You're Meryl's youngest daughter, Luisa." ”

Louisa Jacobson said: "We met ...... in New York a few years ago"

Blonde, long-legged, and delicate and beautiful, Leonardo nodded: "You were a little girl then, I didn't expect to grow so big now." ”

Luisa smiled at him, but turned to Martin and said, "I'm going to have a party next week, can you come?" ”

Nicholson suddenly floated in front of Martin like a ghost.

Martin understood what the bastard meant, and said, "There's been a lot of going on lately, so I'm afraid I don't have time." ”

Leonardo was about to say I did, but was pulled away by Nicholson.

"We'll talk when we have time." Martin is also gone.

Luisa looked at Nicholson's back with obvious resentment in her eyes.

Coming to a place where no one was, Leonardo said dissatisfiedly: "Jack, what are you going to do?" ”

Martin tilted his head slightly and asked, "That can't be your daughter, right?" ”

"Don't frame me!" Nicholson hurriedly defended: "That's Meryl and Don Gumo's daughter. ”

Martin and Leonardo put on a look of disbelief.

Nicholson knew the two bastards, and knew that the more they were depicted, the darker they were, and simply stopped talking.

Leonardo found a new target: "I'm going to talk to someone. ”

Martin also saw an acquaintance: "I'm going to talk to someone too." ”

Nicholson turned into a loner, looked around, and went to find Meryl Streep.

Spielberg had just been chatting for a while, turned his head, and saw Martin.

The old man lifted off his trademark disc glasses and said to Martin who came over: "I heard that you almost exploded Meghan Ellison on the spot a few days ago?" ”

"Nothing." Martin said from his own perspective: "Her newly completed "The Seventh Son" was not very well filmed, and my bid of $30 million was also risky. ”

He went straight to the point: "Nolan came to me a few days ago and talked about Interstellar. ”

Spielberg said: "On big productions and big projects, I think the absolute protagonist should be a superstar, whether it's you or Tommy, it's the right character. “

It's very Spielberg's words, but it's also hard to fault with it.

Martin followed his words and said, "The key to the matter is still with Jon Berg of Warner Pictures. ”

Spielberg smiled and reminded, "He's coming." ”

Martin turned his head and spotted Warner Pictures' Jon Berg walking this way.

"You talk." Spielberg got up and moved out of the way.

Jon Berg came over, pulled out a chair and sat down across from Martin: "Let's talk." ”

Martin smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Jon Berg said: "A few years ago, when I was still at New Line Pictures, I heard a lot about you, you were a rookie actor, and you just started working with Warner Pictures at that time. “

These resumes are clear, and Martin will not deny it: "Several films with Warner Pictures opened up my situation in Hollywood. ”

Jon Bogner stared at Martin: "Without Warner Pictures, there wouldn't be who you are today!" ”

He married Kevin Tsujihara's wife, a Japanese woman who was also heavily influenced by Japanese culture: "You don't have respect and gratitude for Warner Pictures, just forget it, and take the lead in suing Warner Pictures?" ”

Martin said: "In business, don't engage in moral kidnapping, it's your Warner Pictures who don't respect the business contract and breach the contract first." ”

Jon Berg sneered: "Warner Pictures reconciled with you, but you rejected Warner's hand of friendship. ”

"It turns out that the breach of contract came out of your mouth so lightly." Martin said: "By June, you had been in breach of contract for more than half a year, and the liquidated damages and late fees stipulated in the contract did not exist in your eyes? ”

Jon Berg said: "Next month, Warner Pictures will pay your share in full, along with the corresponding bank interest. ”

Martin didn't bother to say anything more: "Please ask your legal department to talk to my lawyer." ”

Jon Berg leaned forward and pressed one hand on the table: "You have to think clearly, you are facing Warner Pictures, it is Warner Bros." ”

He said coldly: "Warner Bros. has been established for nearly a hundred years, and there are many superstars experienced during this period, and these people have fallen without exception after a short peak in their careers. ”

The threat in his words, Martin could naturally hear it, and he said: "I remember that Jack often worked with Warners, and now he is at ease. ”

Jon Berg said, "You really want to face the wrath of Centennial Warner? ”

Martin shook his head and said, "It's indeed a century-old Warner, but I have a question?" How many presidents has Warner Pictures changed? Let me think about it, the president before Alan Horn, who worked for less than a year and a half, was fired by the group company because of poor performance. In the nineties, there were two more who had been in office for less than two and a half years, and they were forced to leave their jobs because they had messed up big-budget films......"

Jon Berg's face turned from white to black in an instant.

Martin got up and was about to leave, and before leaving, he said, "Jon, I wish your new film "Jack the Giant Catcher" a box office hit, and I wish you a promotion and a raise. ”

Jon Berg's eyes flashed the main poster of the film, and suddenly remembered one thing, the distribution label Warner Bros., "Transcendental Hacker" and "The Lone Ranger" for Annapurna Pictures all failed miserably.

For this reason, Warner Bros. terminated the distribution contract of "The Seventh Son" with Annapurna, who held a test film meeting a few days ago to sell the rights, but no one asked for $40 million.

All three items are said to have been snatched by Megan Ellison from Martin Davis.

Warner Pictures also has projects that were snatched from Martin Davis, "Pharaohs and the Gods" and "The Dark Lands."

Both films also failed.

Jon Berg's hands and feet were wooden for a while, and his back was cold.

Where did the project "Giant Catcher Jack" first come from?

Jon Berg remembers very well that when Davis's studio had not yet moved, he followed Daniel to Davis's studio, and on Martin Davis's desk, there were two fairy tale books - "Jack and the Beanman" and "Jack the Giant Catcher".

The two books have curly edges, and the traces of flipping through them are particularly obvious, and there is a script of the same name nearby.

So, he launched this fairy tale magic epic project.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Jon Berg shook his head: "No one thought I'd be over that day, and I also found these two books by accident, and then I had this project." “

He would never admit that he had been deceived: "Martin Davis's shoddy methods can't escape my eyes. ”

Not to mention anything else, on the project of "Jack the Giant Catcher" alone, Warner Pictures has smashed more than $200 million, and the distribution company has $100 million, and the sunk cost is scary.

Jon Berg refuses to think in that direction.

Because he can't afford the terrible consequences.

Jon Berg looked at Martin's back again, "Jack the Giant Catcher" was about to be released, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this bastard for the time being, waiting for the film to be a big hit......

On the other side, Nicholson glanced at Jon Berg, who was leaving alone, and asked, "Did he threaten you just now?" ”

Martin shrugged: "Tell me to my face that a big mountain called Warner is about to fall down and smash me into a pulp." ”

Nicholson laughed and then said, "You'd better be careful." ”

Martin nodded, and said: "I had long expected that there might be this day, after all, Warner's new management of Tiantuan is not ordinary, so I chose to cooperate with Disney in depth." ”

Leonardo interjected at this time: "Passive defense is not our style, we have to find a way to get him!" ”

Martin looked at Leonardo and said, "You've been working with Warner lately, so when the opportunity is right, help me step up and say something." ”

"No problem." Leonardo answered.
